BPM 128, D major, bright yet bittersweet synth-pop/dreamwave. Core instrumentation: warbling analog arpeggiated synths with slow filter sweeps, rounded portamento sub-bass, crisp gated electronic drums with soft clap layers, wide washed-out string pads, faint chorus-soaked rhythm guitar licks, ethereal reverb-drenched male lead vocals with soft delay tails, tone equal parts danceable and softly nostalgic. Lyrics follow a narrator lingering at a closed coastal boardwalk arcade at blue hour, 10 years after a first summer love faded, spinning through half-remembered strobe light flashes, skee-ball ticket stubs, distant crashing surf, and the quiet, warm realization that some soft, glowing memories outlast the places that held them, no bitter regret only tender, hazy longing.

[Intro] [Verse] The iron gate is locked tight Underneath the fading light Ten years since that wild night Everything feels just right Salt air in the breeze Moving through the cypress trees I’m falling to my knees Lost in all these memories [Pre-Chorus] The arcade is sleeping now I still remember how We chased the purple glow With nowhere left to go [Chorus] Strobe lights in my head Everything you said Glowing in the dark Like a neon spark Blue hour on the sand Holding onto your hand The game is over now But I’m still here somehow [Post-Chorus] Neon saltwater (Ooh) Love like a summer (Ooh) Neon saltwater (Ooh) Still hear the thunder (Ooh) [Break] [Verse] Skee-ball tickets in my coat Like a secret little note Watching every plastic boat Keep our heavy hearts afloat The joystick’s covered in dust Turning all the gold to rust But I still feel the trust Of a love that was a must [Pre-Chorus] Shadows on the pier Wish that you were here To see the ocean blue Everything reminds me of you [Chorus] Strobe lights in my head Everything you said Glowing in the dark Like a neon spark Blue hour on the sand Holding onto your hand The game is over now But I’m still here somehow [Bridge] The paint is peeling off the walls Silence in the empty halls But I can hear your laughter ring Like a sweet and steady thing It’s not a sad goodbye Just a hazy, painted sky I’m glad we had the time When the world was yours and mine [Hook] Spinning in the strobe Across the golden globe Spinning in the strobe In a velvet robe [Chorus] Strobe lights in my head Everything you said Glowing in the dark Like a neon spark Blue hour on the sand Holding onto your hand The game is over now But I’m still here somehow [Post-Chorus] Neon saltwater (Ooh) Love like a summer (Ooh) Neon saltwater (Ooh) Still hear the thunder (Ooh) [Outro]
